I have a Philips DVP5140 player and it used to play everything that I would burn to DVD disks. In recent years many files have changed form the standard 700MB to 1.4GB files. I am finding that many of these will play about 70% to 80% of the movie and then stop playing and skip to the next movie on the disk. The movie plays flawlessly using VLC on a computer by the way.

I thought it was time to upgrade the old 5140 to fix this problem. I purchased a new Philips 3560 player and it does exactly the same thing. What am I doing wrong? Is there a new standard that I need to be looking for in a replacement player?

Or can someone recommend a player that would work with these files.

I was just hoping to get a machine that could play it without messing with the file and perform any processing. I would have thought this would have been a simple question, unless maybe no stand alone machines can do this?

I wonder if a PS3 or XBox can play DIVX movies that are more than 1GB in size?
